In view of the facts that the tremendous successes of science and it's importance in our life. Philosophy of Science becomes the domain which gradually expands unceasingly. In the Philosophy of Science's research process, the question of the relationship between science and philosophy becomes the question which we must first directly face. How to understand the relationship between science and philosophy is not only a question relates the living space of philosophy but also a question relates science own development, simultaneously, a question relates the philosophy belief of individual.This article bases on the history of philosophy and the history of scientific thinking made a longitudinal study on the historic evolution of the relationship between science and philosophy. In early humanity thinking history, because limited by the historic society condition, the science and the philosophy are the primitive body. The Ancient Greece philosophy in which the mental preparations were bred in the form of mathematics rationality, logical rationality, experimental rationality and so on lay the foundation the modern science produces. Until the modern times, is mainly as a result of Newton, between the two then gradually had a true discrimination. Struggles from middle ages this cloudy valley of academic decline, undergoes the path which the humanities person opened for the science future promotion in the Renaissance, The nature this entity kingdom then transforms into the mechanical movement natural sciences object kingdom in the space and the time from the nature and the teleology level. This movement that science was far away from the philosophy cause the philosopher fall into the difficult problems which grew in the new category which to have not been challenged. Compares with the ancient thought and the modern thought, the contemporary theory more and more demonstrate the dialectical characteristic. The science and the philosophy constructed one kind of interactive relations in"the thought tragedy". Today Should not the science certainly be at transcendental philosophy's beck and go along the path which pointed out by it. But the philosophy should not only to sum up the science discover makes the response negatively. Today the philosophy and the science relations, would its characteristic is the philosophy monologue and the science monologue rather said is dialog between them. Moreover their mutual reply is an interrogatory method not completely, often also includes the question. Natural sciences' internal conflict having already melted in the new paradigm of the dialogue between the past and the future, these attempted newly, since it has attempted the more even modern scientific revolution the physical science and the life sciences gap, natural sciences and humanities gap, human and natural gap. But the Philosophy of Science' culture changes, has demonstrated with the natural sciences same trend.
